when i went to my seminar on 8/4 i was told that the duodenal switch, rny and sleeve were all none reversible. maybe my dr was wrong...but i have never heard that rny was reversible.

i see some of you in your responses suggest people go to a specific forum. stupid question but if those forums do not appear on the forums home page, how do youfind them? for example a recent post about eating badly someone suggested going to the over eating board... i dont see that on the forum hom page. any help would be awesome!

so glad to see this posted! i have been doing the same thing and then feeling like complete shi*t afterwards. i definitely will chekc out that board

i tried the rtd chocolate light. i know they will not be a milk shake but i just didn't like it at all. years ago i drank isopure dutch chocolate. i will have to see if those are still around and check the carbs and protein on those. maybe if i plug my nose and drink it thanks all. i have a list going of the ones you suggested.

Thought it was gross. I haven't started a ore-op diet or anything. Just bought a few of those based on people's reviews here.what are some other shakes you all like?

Definitely will ask my surgeon as well. Not sure. I again about the convention. I find it bizarre that every surgeon is so different. I specifically asked mine about NSAIDs because I get migraines and take excedrine migraine. He said te first few weeks/months that I shouldn't while I'm healing. But after that shouldn't be a big deal. I'll have to check again

Yay! Congrats! I'm hoping to get mine done in oct or nov! I'm so excited to do this an start my new life I can't take it anymore.

that would be swell if it was an after effect! im 32 and my sides and the front are going grey

congrats!

i too have a desk job and my surgeon said to be safe and get the "hang" of things he would not let me go back for at least two weeks.

Hello! I'm 32 have a DH and have a 2.5 year old. She keeps us mighty busy. Hoping to get sleeved in November!

Hi all. Not sleeved yet but had a thought today as I suffered through a reaction to antibiotic for a bacterial infection. Anyways. When I have the flu I also drink sprite and eat soups or buttered noodles and crackers to help settle my stomach. I know after the sleeve those are no-nos. any of you get the flu weeks,months, years after sleeving? If so what did you eat/drink to help you? Thanks

Good luck! I was 324 at my consult on aug 29. Have my sleep study tonight, psych eval and edg on sept 21 and nut in the 25. So excited to get this done!

I plan on it although I was not given a schedule yet. Not sure when they meet. I have my sleepy study this evening....yikes How you doing?

thanks ssriley! that's what i was looking for!

yeah, i;m trying to figure out how to track my measurements and weight with graphs on a spreadsheet . i will be up playing for a while tonight

anyone use a spreadsheet to track your progress? i am trying to think of a way to make this easy. any thoughts? did you find one online?

i'm assuming that you lose everywhere but everyone is different. for that reason i have taken a LOT of measurements every hwere on my body. i did the most common ones, but also added stuff like my face, neck shoulders, i did each finger, wrists, ankles and calves. we shall see

Excellent everyone. Thank you! Dexter I will check my surgeon great idea. An I already have Xanax

Last Friday I went to my pulmanologist apt. The doctor was very surprised that I am"fairly" healthy other than high BMI. No known comorbidities. He was trying to bypass the sleep test if I didn't need it and sent me home with a pulse ox tester to wear overnight. If that was positive or signs of apnea then I would have to schedule the sleep study. Well got the call today and I failed the overnight pulse ox. So now I have to go fr a sleep study. If I do have apnea knowing that the surgery and losing weight will hopefully make that go away. Can you rent those cpap machines or do you have to buy them? Anyone know?

haha, awesome

awesome. thanks! i am seeing the nut soon so i will see what our surgeon requires then. thanks again!

i am sure all will turn out great! good luck wednesday

once sleeved are protein shakes a forever thing or just so many weeks/months after surgery? thanks!

Thank you for posting this. I've been going through the same thoughts and emotions. I think it's very real and a step towards our decisions! Thank you for posting because I thought I was the only one who felt this way.
